Beth Pear Tree

A result of a cross between pear varieties Beurré Superfin x Williams' Bon Chrétien, first introduced in 1938. Beth (Pyrus 'Beth') is an excellent garden pear variety. The pears are initially green, turning to pale yellow with a smooth skin. The pears themselves are delicious, being small, sweet with juicy flesh.

Month of Picking: October

Type of Pear: Eating

Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This pear is not self-fertile so it is necessary to have another pear for pollination nearby.

This pear is in flowering period is C3.

How to chose a suitable pollination partner:

To make it easy to match this pear with a suitable pollination partner we have used a series of codes, which are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and relate to flowering periods. Every pear variety we sell will have one of these codes.

The code we have given this pear tree means that you need to find another pear with the same code or one less or one more, so for example, if the pear is code C3, then another pear variety with code C2 or C4 would be suitable to act as a reliable pollination partner.

This variety of pear tree is supplied in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.

What our customers are saying about our Beth Pear TreeDear Sir, I am writing to thank you for delivering my pear trees in perfect condition. By using your firm the whole process from first looking at your website to final delivery was so easy and efficient. Your website was a joy to use, providing lots of information about each individual tree. A kind gentleman phoned me to apologise for not having a specific pot grown pear tree and asked if it would be ok to send a bare rooted one. The two trees were delivered within a week, left in the place I had specified. They are fantastic trees and look very healthy. I can't wait to sample the pears later in the year. Thank you trees online; without you it would have been much harder tracking down the pear trees I was looking for. I will definitely be online soon to order more trees. Best wishes for your continued success. Sue Davies
